This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled spi: ppc4xx: Drop write-only variable to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: spi-ppc4xx-drop-write-only-variable.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8c2901772aec552a1a60385d74f3e866814ca946 Author: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Feb 10 17:40:08 2024 +0100 spi: ppc4xx: Drop write-only variable [ Upstream commit b3aa619a8b4706f35cb62f780c14e68796b37f3f ] Since commit 24778be20f87 ("spi: convert drivers to use bits_per_word_mask") the bits_per_word variable is only written to. The check that was there before isn't needed any more as the spi core ensures that only 8 bit transfers are used, so the variable can go away together with all assignments to it.
